Epic

Epic is the level of itemquality in between Rare and Legendary. Epic quality items can be found in end-game instances, from various professions, world drops, and reputation purchases.

Although Legendary is one step higher, Epic may often be considered the best in the game. This is due to three reasons: first of all, given how most players will hardly ever see, much less wield a Legendary item, Epic items will comprise the "normal" BiS-items a player may acquire. Secondly, due to the rare frequency of implementation of Legendary items, many Epic items will often be better than the game's current best Legendary. Third, it is impossible to dress up a character in only Legendary items. This is partly because of the low number of Legendary items in the game, and partly because most of them are weapons. For example, the boots and gloves of a end-game character will always be Epic, no matter how hardcore the player may be, because there never has and likely will never be any Legendary gloves and boots.
